This will be our last month selling honey from our front porch until next year/late Spring. We're excited to announce we will be selling over the winter at 309 Marketplace! (Formally Nostalgia). We have several bottles of 1lb and 2lb bottles left on our porch still available❤️🍯🐝

1lb $12
2lb $25

The bees have finished making honey for the year. Next extraction ~June 2026. When it's gone, it's gone!

We checked our hives today. Sadly the hive beetles have been TERRIBLE this year. We've lost 10 hives since Spring, leaving us down to 12. Hive beetles put a significant amount of stress on a hive, reducing the amount of honey they can produce and at times killing the hive. We have hive beetle traps inside each hive and have treated underneath each hive. Sometimes Mother Nature is not on your side. 🫤 Keeping honey bees is becoming more and more challenging each year.

We are extracting honey tomorrow (Sunday) and should have ~ 100lbs left for the season for purchase. Let us know if you'd like a bottle! We won't have more available until June 2026.

1lb $12
2lb $24

Thank you all for supporting our small business. Hopefully 2026 will be kinder to the bees and our apiary!
